El Al hasn’t flown on Shabbos since 1982, but we are living in times that Israel hasn’t seen in the past half century.
Israel’s flag carrier has served as a lifeline this week for IDF reservists returning to their home land and for Jews returning home after the Sukkos holiday when other airlines suspended flights to Israel. To their credit, they didn’t gouge on pricing either, affordable flights were made available even on the last seats of the plane, when airlines typically charge a small fortune.
The airline is operating flights from JFK and Bangkok on Shabbos, with Rabbinic approval, to bring reservists to Israel to help with the war effort. El Al won’t fly on Shabbos to make more money, but it has a Rabbinic obligation to do so if it will save even one life.
Flight 3014 from JFK will land in Tel Aviv within the next half hour:
The horrific slaughter of Jews this past Shabbos had shocking scenes that haven’t been seen since the holocaust.
Let us all pray this Shabbos that with G-ds help, Israel will fulfill its sovereign obligation to eradicate the evil forces that perpetrated this terror so that they can never kill or harm again. May we experience true peace in the holy land and around the world very soon!
You can also find excellent causes to give charity to before Shabbos in this post.
Shabbat Shalom to all!

Until 1982 elal flew on shabbos as a matter of course
Dan, we need much more flights on Shabbat. Pls send message to new owner. There is huge anger in Israel from not increasing number of flights on Shabbat now during war
Why davka Shabbos? You have Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday & Friday to increase flights.
This was for reservists to get back here to help fight in the war.

Oh I guess I’m very late to notice that
They Could have flown on Thursday, they just didn’t want to cancel a passenger flight.
The passenger flights to Israel have been full of reservists. Why would they cancel that?
How about canceling all civillian pasengers?
That would be illegal under US law.
Well, United airlines, besides breaking guitars, they smash Chinese doctors teeth as they drag off the paying passengers to make room for some of their lazy stewardesses who want to get home now. What’s “legal” or not, doesn’t apply to the greedy airlines. They are cowboys and do whatever the hell they please.
1. They can cancel the flight & allow just reservists.
2. Besides, as a matter of fact there is no war currently in Israel, they just need the reservists in order to enter Gaza, if the goverment would realize how precuios Shaboss is, & how Shaboss protects us they would wait another day to enter Gaza to allow soldiers to come without desecrating Shaboss.
